Deciduous tree. Large, open, spreading shrub or small tree. Dense, reddish brown hairs cover the stems. Large, deeply dissected, compound pinnate, bright green leaves grow to 2′ long with a fern-like appearance. Greenish-yellow flowers bloom in terminal panicles in early summer. Female plants produce showy, pyramidal fruiting clusters. Each cluster contains numerous hairy, berry-like drupes which ripen in autumn to red, gradually aging to maroon-brown. Fruit clusters persist through the winter. Low to moderate water needs once established.
